Now that the M Class is out, I wonder how long it's gonna be before they drop the price on the S Class. I see it's still the same price, but I doubt that will last for long...
S-class would need to drop its price by at least $60 for anyone to consider it over the M class
Thanks for the heads up. Ordered one from Varitube today and got a shipping email with a tracking number 10 minutes after the order went through. Great service.
I also received confirmation from Varitube that my M class will arrive tomorrow. Yay! 
Maybe, but you'll end up with what you really wanted. You'd have buyers remorse if you chose a different color, just because you were impatient and couldn't wait another week or two.
Yihi stopped manufacturing the S Class Mini sometime ago so there probably are very few in stock at retailers now. The number of units in stock will most likely determine any discounts.
The M Class arrived a couple of days early... No time for pics right now, but I must say that I am VERY pleased with the finish. Much more "refined" than the S Class. No gaps around the frame, and feels even better to hold. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to throw a nickel build of some sort in later this evening.. The battery cap still seems to be fine-threaded. I can remove it with my thumb just like the S Class though.
As Mark Todd may say, " Stunnin' absolutely Stunnin'"...
EDIT: What the hell, I found time for one pic... I used one of my smok Gimlet's Ni200 coil heads for the time being.. Installed Gimlet cold, and held up/down buttons on the M Class for refinement. The head is supposed to be 0.20 ohms, reads 0.23 on the mod. Temp is set @ 425F / 20.0J.. Compared to my few days with the dna 40, and just using the M Class briefly, the temp-protection seems to be working very well right out of the gate..

Sorry about the pics being sidways...my Mac does that sometime for some unknown reason. Feels great in the hand, loving it so far! First experience with the SX Mini and I gotta say, I'm very impressed with the build quality. About to throw a nickel build on the tugboat and see what happen!
Just received mine earlier today. I am an experienced DNA40 user and my impression after some initial testing is this is TC done right. (IMO only). I have played around with a few atties that already had NI builds and am beyond impressed. Being able to control the boost level is a definite bonus. The fit & finish is definitely kicked up from the S class which is no slouch.
Can anyone elaborate some on the difference in finishes? I don't think I'd trade up, because I don't need the extra power (nor TC), but I'm just about to wrap mine (in pretty much the same colors they are) and am just curious.
If it's anodized, I might consider it. Otherwise, I'll probably continue on my wrapping-way.
Congrats to all who scored them, by the way!

Thanks!.. I haven't been as impressed with a mod like the SXmini series in a long time..
Personally, I think it's worth the trade-up for the M Class.. The M Class is slightly larger, which makes it more comfortable to hold IMO, as well as the edges being rounded. The C frame seems anodized, and is finished much better.. Kind of polished looking. The up / down buttons are slightly larger. The firing button's edges are not sharp, and is also a little bigger. The USB port seems better made also.. I also prefer the larger display window..
EDIT: I just found that my Magma screws down all the way flush with no gap, unlike on my S Class.. Another plus..

I might keep a watch out for a good deal. I'm thrilled with the J so far though, so I'll sit (at least for a bit). But mindful, like a good vaper should be.
I was thinking the C-frame was raw metal, or maybe clear-coated. The rest seems to be the same paint job as the S-class. Time will tell - there's always the option of wrapping it (before or after the paint wears). It's a safe assumption J-Wraps will come out with a wrap for the M-class too.
The "lip" below the 510 connector is more shallow and less beveled. The C-frame is thinner all around. The display window is wider and taller, and the display is ever so slightly crooked - something I'll likely adjust when I open it up someday (this was a huge problem with the DNA40 too). The display is significantly brighter as well (could be the OLED dimming with age on the S-class). The button holes are wider and deeper (I think they look better on the S-class). The buttons are much more firm and clicky. The USB port looks identical - let's hope there's a bit more solder on the J-board. The power button has more of a hollow echo sound - not as "solid" sounding as the S-class. I'm using a Sony VTC4 in the M-class and an LG HE2 in the S-class, so I'll have to swap batteries to see if that makes any difference.
Many of those issues are very minor, but I'm very picky when comparing products.
Just got my M Class. It's superior to the DNA 40 in every way in my opinion.
I have never been so impressed with the performance of a mod.
The controlled temperature function is right on and the fit and finish are excellent.
My strong recommendation to picky vapers..GET ONE!
My recommendation to Yihi..make a dual parallel battery version for folks on long trips who don't want to carry extra batteries.
That's not a negative just a nice option.
